Background Transit-Dependent Communities o Low-income o Minorities o Auto-oriented development McKenzie 2013, Tomer 2011 Metro aims to “promote fair and equal access to Metro’s services and activities for all people in our service area, including minority populations and people who have limited English proficiency, disabilities, or low incomes.” King County Metro Transit Report 2013

Why Southeast Seattle?

Question How does transit connectivity, that is the linkage between residential areas and points of interests (land use parcels of services and amenities) as provided by bus routes, vary in Southeast Seattle?

Access Connectivity Increased Ridership Safety & Comfort Frequency & Reliability Origin: neighborhood (Block Group) Transit Network Spatial Temporal Destinations: Points of Interest Supporting Infrastructur e Bus Stop Facilities Fare Cost Outreach & Public Knowledge Spatial Extent Routes Stops Areas of transit dependency Scale Median HH Income Auto-oriented development Pop. Density Land Use: ●Gov. Services ●Retail/Services ●School/ daycare ●Park/playground ●Public Facilities ●Recreation/entertainment

Data Dictionary FileTyp e Function Seattle Block Groups.shpdefining city boundary Seattle Neighborhoods.shpdefining study boundary (Southeast Seattle) K.C. Metro Bus Stops Spring 2012.shpcreating buffer areas around selected bus stops K.C. Metro Bus Routes Spring 2012.shpused for performing intersection with selected block groups Seattle Land Use Parcels.shpused for making selection to get parcels for points of interest

Procedure Select by Attribute Select by Location

Procedure Select by Location Buffer Select by Location Frequency Table

Procedure Total number of Points of Interests o 7 categories  Government Service  Office  Park/Playground  Public Facility  Recreation/Entertainment  Retail/Service  School/Daycare

Procedure (Shannon) Diversity Index o It accounts for both abundance and evenness o Equation Number of Category Distribution Diversity Index Value 1Evenly Evenly1.386 H = 1.258

Findings & Analysis

● I-90 Junction ● Rainier Beach area ● Martin Luther King Jr. Way S. corridor Diversity Index Number of Accessible POIs

Findings & Analysis Number of Accessible POIs Downtown U District I-5 Corridor North of Canal

Limitations Frequency of service Transfer POIs within block groups are also included POI data mainly for Seattle Euclidian vs. Network Distance Other modes of transit excluded (Light Rail, Sound Transit buses)

Implications & Next Steps Diversity index of census block groups reveals connectivity to services and amenities King County Metro can use the diversity index to improve services Apply similar methods to entire city
